Nike Pure Grip Basketball

Playing basketball outdoors is one of the highlights of summer time, but playing outside also means dealing with dirt, which inevitably finds its was onto the ball and the players' hands, resulting in less grip and dirty Gatorade bottles. The Nike Pure Grip Basketball ($35) was developed specifically to maximize grip and minimize dirt, with an anti-static, ionized synthetic leather surface and a unique pebble pattern that repels dirt. What you do with that extra grip is up to you.
